The Seven Habits of Strange Birds
By Daniel Pryfogle
Strange Bird sightings are on the rise around the world. Seven habits (thanks to Stephen Covey) stand out:
1. Strange Birds resist being pigeonholed. Strange Birds are called to ministry but not necessarily to traditional ministry. They hear a call that compels them to push beyond established boundaries.
2. Strange Birds build eclectic nests. They are most at home in places that mix it up - places where there is freedom to break out of old categories (like conservative and liberal). They explore, borrow, and integrate from diverse traditions, yet with respect and authenticity, meaning without being spiritual tourists or colonizers.
3. Strange Birds read signs. They are attuned to shifts in weather and other patterns. They pick up on cultural trends. They are always looking for signs of Christ throughout culture - in the arts, in business, in politics, everywhere.
4. Strange Birds spread seeds. Strange Birds like to chew on the fruits of new thinking. And they enjoy dropping seeds in institutions.
5. Strange Birds soar. They like a good wind, especially the wind of the Spirit. They revel in the surprise of where the wind will take them.
6. Strange Birds flock together. They are drawn to kindred spirits. Their intuition is often highly developed, so they recognize other Strange Birds when they see them. But kindred spirits are rare, so the sometimes-solo flight of the Strange Bird can be lonely. That's why they seek opportunities to gather.
7. Strange Birds like the Northwest in the fall.
